We enable lingering for anyone who wants this. It is still disabled by
default to avoid keeping long-running processes accidentally.
Admins might want to customize this policy on multi-user sites.
This ensures that users sessions are properly cleaned up after.
The admin can still enable or disable linger for specific users to allow
them to run processes after they log out. Doing that through the user
session is much cleaner and provides better control.
dbus daemon can now be run in the user session (with --enable-user-session,
added in 1.10.2), and most distributions opted to pick this configuration.
In the normal case it makes a lot of sense to kill remaining processes.
The exception is stuff like screen and tmux. But it's easy enough to
work around, a simple example was added to the man page in previous
commit. In the long run those services should integrate with the systemd
users session on their own.

NEWS for `219` references `machinectl list-images` to describe the introduced clone feature - this looks like a copy'n'paste problem.
Use `machinectl clone` instead.
Let's make sure DNSSEC gets more testing, by defaulting DNSSEC to
"allow-downgrade" mode. Since distros should probably not ship DNSSEC enabled
by default add a configure switch to disable this again.
DNSSEC in "allow-downgrade" mode should mostly work without affecting user
experience. There's one exception: some captive portal systems rewrite DNS in
order to redirect HTTP traffic to the captive portal. If these systems
implement DNS servers that are otherwise DNSSEC-capable (which in fact is
pretty unlikely, but still...), then this will result in the captive portal
being inaccessible. To fix this support in NetworkManager (or any other network
management solution that does captive portal detection) is required, which
simply turns off DNSSEC during the captive portal detection, and resets it back
to the default (i.e. on) after captive portal authentication is complete.
It has fairly wide functionality now and the interface has been
stable for a while. It it a useful testing tool.
The name is changed to better indicate what it does.
Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive
has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism.
However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls
and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification
for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel
v4.5:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671
As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no
longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over
to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which
obsoletes these controllers anyway.
This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller,
but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.
Hardly any software uses that any more, and better locking mechanisms like
flock() have been available for many years.
Also drop the corresponding "lock" group from sysusers.d/basic.conf.in, as
nothing else is using this.
